Beyond Therapy
Central New York Playhouse
Jim Sharples, director

Atonement Lutheran Church
116 W. Glen Ave., Syracuse

Christopher Durang's delightful off-Broadway hit concerns two modern, neurotic urbanites searching for love and sanity – with the questionable help of their offbeat therapists.

Bruce and Prudence are deeply into therapy. Prudence's macho therapist is urging her to be more assertive, while Bruce's wacky female therapist wants him to meet women by placing a personal ad. She does not fully comprehend that Bruce has a male lover who is not pleased by Bruce's desire to date a woman. Bruce doesn't know how to handle poor, nervous Prudence, and Prudence doesn't know what to make of her unpredictable new boyfriend.
